http://www.ibm.com/software/lotus/?cm_mmc=agus_iteplotv-20090615-usitp300-_-n-_-v2-_-y Jim Vaselopulos of PSC Group discusses how working remotely shouldn’t mean being less productive. Businesses can (and should) still be efficient, regardless of where employees are working. Collaboration software enables companies such as PSC Group to maximize productivity whether they’re in the office or working remotely.
PSC Group, LLC:
“Travel times and commutes have gotten so ridiculous, especially in larger cities, that you can get to work faster, you can get to productivity faster in the day, and its not that youre working less, in fact I find that people who are working remotely are working more, but you end up being far more productive because you dont have that burden of the commute. And also the emotional burden that comes with a two-hour commute. It weighs on you heavy. As soon as you step in to the office where you’re supposed to be productive and in a good mood.
Its funny, we used to measure our efficiency by how empty the office was. If the office was full, were not doing well. And if the office is empty, were doing great. Whats funny is, that over the years, we’ve got a full office. And much of that is that because people are working remotely. We can take control of desktop remotely. Everything we can do now with technology has enabled the work from home, work from the office and allow for a better quality of work from many of our consultants. And even a better quality of life for everyone involved, including the clients, who in many cases prefer to work from home.”

Peacock Engineering and IBM Maximo software provides clients with visibility and management solutions to improve business decision-making processes.
My name’s Alan Cambridge. I’m the Business Development Director for Peacock Engineering.
Peacock Engineering, from a consultancy perspective, brings together consultants who are not just technical Maximo consultants but have come from industry.
So we have engineers from all sorts of walks of life, and our experience really comes from taking their business issues and converting those into the most appropriate way to use Maximo.
Assets are becoming smarter, there’s more technology built into the actual asset itself, and what we’re doing is helping customers take that engineering asset information from those assets and turning that into decision-making management information. So rather than just an asset sitting in the field and being very much standalone from a software solution, we’re showing customers how we can bring the two together and improve their business decision-making processes.
Maximo for us at Peacock Engineering gives our clients visibility that they never had before. So they’re making business decisions on spreadsheets, they’re making business decisions on gut feel and their own experience within their own company. What Maximo does for them and what we can help them achieve is making business decisions based on real facts, and that proves to create a massive improvement in their decision-making process.
Our customers save money by actually looking at the operational time of those assets, looking at downtime of those assets, and helping them make business decisions about when’s the right time to maintain an asset, when’s the right time to replace an asset. So assets are being asked to work harder in the field these days, improve productivity of our clients, and assets are being asked to sweat a lot harder in the field. Knowing when to take them out of operation to work on them and maintain them is key to the profitability of the organizations we work with.

The Register’s Tim Phillips, Jon Collins of analysts Freeform Dynamics and IBM’s Gary Gomersall take an alternative look at business productivity in this video webcast.
To some the word productivity is a means to squeezing more out of an already overstretched workforce. To others, it’s about providing the tools necessary to cope with the seemingly uncontrollable escalation in the amount of information and communication needed. Both share a common foundation in making the best of things by optimising the way the world works at the moment.
An alternative does exist however, one which involves looking up from the day job, taking note of some of the advances in place in both technology and business practices, and actually challenging the way some things are done. This is not about being either aggressive or defensive, it’s about structuring things, organising things and doing things more intelligently.
Tackling the topic head on and dishing out practical real world advice and answers along the way, the panel of experts tackle:
• A review of some of the common types of inefficiency found repeatedly in business today
• A fresh look at business operations
• Some relevant IT industry developments and a taster of how they can help along the spectrum
• User empowerment and workforce collaboration in more detail
• Process optimisation and automation in more detail
• Practical steps for moving forward

Chris O’Connor of IBM discusses how companies are often hampered by the time-consuming assembly of different IT components. Many need help organizing IT delivery to use IT effectively. With CloudBurst, companies can consolidate multiple components and simplify their environment. By integrating service management software with servers, storage, and services to enable a private cloud, businesses can get their IT in a single complete system, transforming the data center into a dynamic infrastructure that can deliver IT without the complex hardware. Ultimately, it will deliver improved service while reducing costs and increasing business productivity.
[Chris OConnor, IBM]
“My name is Chris OConnor. Im the Vice-President of Strategy and Product Management for Tivoli brand and IBM Software Group. Our clients today tell us that they want to be able move workloads on demand, they want to be able to vary where workloads are placed, and they want to be able to turn them off and on. CloudBurst is designed to fit that environment whether its application dev test, production, or for those that provide services.
One of our real differentiation points is, you dont have to assemble it yourself you dont just order a platform and then go look at all the other components you want to buy. Weve built you a complete system one price, one purchase order, one delivery, of the platform, the software and the services that go along with it to make you productive immediately. We think that this is a tremendous advantage for you, and we think its unique in the industry today.
The CloudBurst offering specifically includes all the elements of the platform. Think of it as your networking fabric, your storage fabric, and your compute fabric tightly integrated together. In addition to that, it includes service management. It includes the ability to create a service catalog to be able to allow you to attach directly to the line of business owners and their application needs without having to understand the deep componentry of how the processes and hardware actually work, as well as it includes integrated services to be able to come in and on day one enable you to use the platform for your business benefit.
Were excited about the new IBM CloudBurst capabilities you can take advantage of.
